It is difficult to control where the viral vectors insert genes in the genome, and it is difficult to manufacture large quantities of clinical-grade viral vectors. The CRISPR-Cas9 system works by having “spacer” sequences transcribed into short RNA sequences that can guide the system to the matching target in the DNA sequence of a cell.
